Episode notes
Desert Dave joins the Bitcoin Infinity Show to talk about off-grid solar Bitcoin mining in the Arizona desert, the failed BIP 110 soft fork, and why he's bricking six ASICs to mine a new proof-of-work fork instead. Knut pushes back hard, arguing that node decentralization, Ocean and DATUM, and alternative implementations still make the legacy chain worth fighting for, while Dave argues Bitcoin Core and the mining pools are too captured to fix. They dig into self-custody, spam and OP_RETURN, mining centralization, Michael Saylor's treasury companies, and whether Bitcoin's value comes from being a store of value or a medium of exchange.
